Contract brewing and beverage
services to help grow your brands
Founded in 1987, we are a Pacific Northwest-based beverage contract packaging manufacturer.
At Full Sail Brewing, we have over 35 years of brewing and beverage packing experience and nearly two decades of experience working with local, regional, and multinational brands to help bring the finest quality beverage brands to market.
An Experienced Co-Pack Partner
Our facilities in Hood River, Oregon are capable of producing in excess of thirty million cases of beverage annually and we have both the technical expertise and requisite licensure to produce beer, wine, cider, seltzer and spirit-based RTDs in addition to non-alcoholic offerings.
Infrastructure and Equipment To Meet Your Needs
We operate a 200 BBL brewhouse with Meura Mash Filter and Alpha Laval Centrifuge. The packaging hall is equipped with high-speed Krones canning and bottling lines capable of filling most common vessel sizes and packaging into myriad configurations. Contract customers are able to leverage Full Sail’s established network of freight and warehouse operators as well as component sourcing and supply chain.
People Power
Knowledge and know how run deep at Full Sail. We have a robust, state of the art lab and QA department to ensure that every drop of liquid leaving our facility is of the highest quality. Additionally, brewmaster Greg Doss has spearheaded multiple new product developments and launches. It’s no wonder Full Sail’s brands have won more than 200 gold medals through the years!
